They raced through the traffic as fast as they could, silence the whole way, Jonathan seemed deep in thought with a look of despair on his face.
The closer they got to the hospital, the more blue lights they saw. Barry swerved the car into a space, he didn't care if it wasn't straight. That was the last thing on their minds.
They then headed straight for A and E.
It was busy down there, so many people waiting to be seen. Barry went straight to the desk to ask for Maddie. A little girl caught Jonathan's eye, she was snuggled up to her mom, under a blanket. A hoard of books were in-front of them, the lady was reading one to her daughter, it seemed to be about a little dog, who had lost his toy. Jonathan couldn't help but watch them, she was a beautiful little girl, maybe no more than 2yrs old. She had long blonde hair, which was put into two plaits, that draped down by the side of her head.
Barry managed to get some information out of the receptionist, she got a nurse, who was going to lead them to the relatives room.
'Hay, I managed to talk to the receptionist and...'
Barry stopped as he noticed Jonathan observing a lady with her little girl, he stepped forward to stand by his side, he noticed the longing look in his eyes.
'She told you then?'
'Uh What?'
Jonathan said with an intake of breath, he was in his own little world, which Barry had suddenly brought him out of.
'About the baby?'
Jonathan looked at him, it was all to much to take in he didn't want to talk about it right now.
'Is she here?'
'They are going to get someone to take us to the relatives room and we will have to wait there for any further information'
'Right ok'
He was not sure if he was prepared for what was going to happen next. Maddie drove him mad sometimes, they'd quarrel as well, but he'd never want any harm to come to her. He cared about her a lot, she was crazy to be with, always getting him into random and sometimes difficult situations, but she did it with such ease and confidence. It made Jonathan think she could tackle the world, do anything, he didn't realize how vulnerable she was until today.
Barry and Jonathan where greeted by a nurse who took them to the relatives room.
